How do other non GUI stuff during gtk_main? (Parallel process?...)

[Chris Seberino <seberino spawar navy mil>]

gtk_main makes program wait for GTK+ "events".

What if I want to have a math program
also running **at the same time**??? I want
this math program to keep streaming
numbers that cause pictures to change on GUI.

Likewise, I want events to affect behavior
of math program.

How can I have GUI and math program interact???

Notice that math program runs constantly so
it is not an "event" that comes and goes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris
